Re: Dibian on Gigabyte GA-7VRXP motherboard.

Hello,

 

First at all, thanks for your answer.

Secondly, I would add some precision about the problem I ancountered.

I had a previous version of linux distribution (SuSE 7.1), which works fine on my previous PC. Since I changed my PC, it was not possible to install the SuSE distribution (the Suse installer does not found the Hard Disk ), because the GA-7VRXP do not have the update drivers for linux ( the reseller said, because the motherboard type is to much recent).

 

Then I search for a distribution which may be support this type of news motherboard, to install correctly a linux distribution. I search this information on the Debian site but I do not found clearly if this type of motherboard was supported. Does it ?

 

May be the Debian distribution should respond to my problem ? I hope. I'll appreciate any suggestion.

 

Thanks a lot.
